2000s: The 90s were nice.<br />

Our family grew and then grew and then grew<br />

some more with the additions of Aarati (our<br />

parents’ daughter-in-law), Rajiv (their son-inlaw),<br />

Summer and Indie, our dogs.<br />

And Leela, Millan & Aasha and Veda their precious<br />

grand kids. The nest was no longer empty; yet the<br />

house remains pristine.<br />

Although most grandparents are able to enjoy<br />

their grandkids one at a time, they were presented<br />

with four, ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Despite the<br />

calamity that follows our family from place to<br />

place, our parents are able to take everything in<br />

stride.<br />

Whether it was their humble upbringing or the<br />

hardship of being immigrants in the 60s, our<br />

parents have always approached everything with<br />

energy and a positive attitude. In the last forty<br />

years, we are yet to hear either of them talk about<br />

accepting failure.<br />

On that note,<br />

Happy soon-to-be 50th anniversary Mom & Dad!<br />

Happy 80 th birthday Dad! We love you!<br />
